Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Confirmation Emails and Ongoing Scams

FromSoftware has officially sent out confirmation emails for the much-anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test. Announced via their Twitter (X) page on January 30, 2025, fans who applied for the test are buzzing with excitement and gratitude upon receiving their emails. If you're one of the lucky ones selected, you'll receive a follow-up email on February 11, 2025, containing a unique code to download the Network Test client on your preferred platform—either PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.

The registration window for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test was open from January 10 to January 20, 2025. Unfortunately, if you didn't receive a confirmation email, there's no word yet on additional testing opportunities.

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Details

FromSoftware describes the network test as a "preliminary verification test" where selected testers will get a sneak peek at the game before its full launch. The test is crucial for the company to conduct large-scale network load tests and verify the online systems' capabilities. The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test is scheduled to run from February 14 to February 16, 2025, with five 3-hour sessions:

• Session 1: February 14th from 3 AM to 6 AM PT
• Session 2: February 14th from 7 PM to 10 PM PT
• Session 3: February 15th from 11 AM to 2 PM PT
• Session 4: February 16th from 3 AM to 6 AM PT
• Session 5: February 16th from 7 PM to 10 PM PT

Beware of Scammers and Scalpers

As excitement builds, so do the risks. There have been reports of scams on Steam where players receive fraudulent invites to the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test. Clicking these links can lead to hacking attempts and mass messaging of friends with the same scam invite. Remember, FromSoftware only used their official website and social media for registration and confirmation. Any other links are likely unauthorized or malicious.

Moreover, scalpers have already jumped on the bandwagon, posting listings for "confirmed test codes" on various buy-and-sell platforms. Despite the codes not being available until February 11, these listings boast absurd prices ranging from $150 to $200, with some even going up for auction.

Elden Ring Nightreign was first announced at The Game Awards 2024, targeting PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. While FromSoftware has set a 2025 release window, no specific release date has been confirmed yet.
